Re:Update: Shaky, Tongue Numbness, etc. DIE OFF? or what???

[Guest guest]

I'd guess die-off first. You can feel unbelievably bad with

die-off. Is he doing anything in the way of pro-biotics, yogurt,

ferments? If so, I'd say cut them back or all the way out, to try

to slow down the die-off so it's more bearable. Slower is usually

more comfortable.

Good luck, these are not fun periods. But, if it is die-off, then

suddenly it will end and he'll feel noticeably better.

Okay, so got an " update " from my husband today... He's

having " inner " shakes (feeling like his whole body is shaking,

but outwardly it's not), numbness feeling or tingling in his tongue,

feeling extremely weak (to the point of thinking he's going to pass out),

and severe inability to focus or concentrate on mental tasks at

work.

With all that said, he thought it was just after eating protein

(hence the post yesterday!), but did a " test " today and it

started before he even had anything to eat, and continued throughout the

entire day, no matter what he ate. He's feeling AWFUL, and while he had

some of these symptoms pre-SCD (we were gluten and dairy free though), he

says that it has gotten progressively worse since beginning the SCD about

3 weeks ago. Is this Die Off? Or something else? We don't want to

automatically go " die off " , when something serious could be

going on that shouldn't be discounted or " trudged

through " .

Any help is much (and greatly!) appreciated right now!!!

I've had what felt to me like tongue swelling a few times over the years though

it might have been numbness. Might well have been die-off. The first time I

can pinpoint it was 29 yrs. ago when I was new to all this fungal stuff. I

remember it specifically because I was taking my daughter on a trip for

treatment. I might well have been on nystatin at the time so it might have been

die-off. Very scary!! Am happy to say that it hasn't happened in many years.

He is doing the yogurt (like all of us), and that was one thing we discussed

last night. So maybe that would help cutting that out for a bit. We'll see!!

=) Thank you!
